Haystacks of Hate

 

I think Donald Trump was right when he said he could shoot

Someone and his core supporters wouldn't give a hoot.

All the current polling data fills me with despair...

He just stabbed the country in the heart. They still don't care.

I was so naive to think that this would be the straw -

Charlottesville must break the camel's back, from what I saw.

Yet the polls are showing his supporters think Trump's great,

Even here in Massachusetts' mostly liberal state.

I was proud of Boston's counter-protest Saturday;

More than 40,000 people met the KKK

And the white supremacists who came to make a speech

Back, behind the barricades, and safely out of reach.

From the stage the neo-Nazis uttered not a squeak.

Not one chose to exercise their right to freely speak

But, they're all so brave on-line (or when they have a gun)

Now that there's a President in office like this one.

Dear Christopher Cantwell, et al.... Boo Hoo.

 

Lots of white supremacists are pretty darn upset

Because their identities are on the internet.

Now they're being ostracized by neighbors who've just learned

Where they went on their vacations, now that they've returned.

One guy, who's from Keene, New Hampshire (which is close to here)

Went on-line to bitch about it...  Even shed a tear.

Oh? Boo hoo, you racist cowards.  What a lot of nerve,
 I have zero sympathy... You got what you deserve.

What's Happening? Part 2

 

Every time I tell myself that things could not get worse

Donald Trump insists on demonstrating the reverse;

Drawing an equivalence between "alt-left" and right

Despite white supremacists' intentions to incite.

One does not wear body armor, helmets, jack-boots, guns,

Carry flaming torches, chanting slogans - Nazi ones' - 

Unless one is looking for a fight, it seems to me...

Yet, again, the President and I do not agree.

Trump believes the "alt-left" charged and then the two sides fought.

Neo-Nazis had the permits, those opposed did not.

"Thank you for your courage," tweets Grand Wizard David Duke.

Ku Klux Klan is happy? Great. I think I'm gonna puke.
